This September, celebrASIA returns to Battersea Power Station for a three-day celebration of Southeast Asian culture, food, and performance. From 5–7 September 2025, the free-entry festival will feature top chefs, street food stalls, an artisan market, and live entertainment across the riverside venue.

A new Feasting Tent will offer ticketed, fire-cooked, long-table meals by acclaimed chefs like Budgie Montoya, Abby Lee, and the team from AngloThai. Festivalgoers can enjoy dance and music from across the region, cultural workshops in Batik Malaysian art and basketry, and interactive family sessions like shadow puppet-making and traditional games. Celebrity ambassadors, including chef Mandy Yin and B-Boy Sunni, will host special events like a breaking masterclass for kids.

Inside the iconic Power Station, visitors can browse over 30 traders or join the Grand Tour educational trail. With hundreds of lanterns, kites, and performances throughout, celebrASIA promises an immersive cultural experience for all ages.
